Course Outline
HypnoBirthing is made up of 5 x 2.5 hour sessions. These sessions can take place as part of a group (maximum 4 couples) or individually if you would prefer. The ideal time to start your course is around the 28 week stage of your pregnancy. This will give you ample time to practice and master the techniques you will learn during the sessions. However, if you are reading this and your are further along in your pregnancy it is not too late to start.
What to expect
Session 1: Building A Positive Expectancy
The first session is about reprogramming your beliefs that surround childbirth.
For so long women have been told to believe that birthing should be a painful and arduous event.
This is not so.
By learning how your body works with you and for you, you will gain a deep understanding of the natural and normal journey that is pregnancy and birth.
You and your birthing companion will also be introduced into the world of deep relaxation as we begin to provide you with the numerous techniques you will use throughout the birthing journey.
You will leave this session with new positive feelings towards birth.
Session 2: Falling in Love With Your Baby/Preparing Mind & Body
Before your baby is even born it can sense what is going on around them.
Learning to fall in love with your baby can have a profound affect on development outside of the womb.
We start off this session with some prenatal bonding exercises to help you appreciate the miracle developing inside.
Next, we follow on with more relaxation, and breathing techniques.
These techniques will be invaluable to you during the birth.
Combine this with the benefits of light touch massage, and you will leave with a calm, and comfortable mind and body.
Session 3: Getting Ready to Welcome your Baby
Your birthing date is getting closer.
In this session we explore just what you birthing date really is, and how to avoid interventions such as artificial induction by achieving a natural start to labour.
You will also have the opportunity to release any fears, limiting thoughts or negative emotions you may be harbouring surrounding your pregnancy and birth.
With the fears released, you will be free from tension, which means being free to birth naturally.
Session 4: Overview of Childbirth—A Labour of Love
During this session we move through the birthing process, and what you can expect to experience. This doesn't just go for the mother, but the birth companion too. They play a vital part in the birthing process, so it’s important for them to know what to do. We review common misconceptions, and give you ways to help birthing along if it doesn't go quite to plan.
Session 5: Birthing—Breathing Love, Bringing Life
It is nearly time for your baby to emerge into the world. During this final session we take you through the hallmarks of true labour, give you techniques to birth your baby without the need to push and strain, as is commonly portrayed. You will also learn how to bond with your baby after it is born, so you have a happy loving relationship.
